Halloween 2013

Halloween just passed once again.  This year, we had 2 sets of costumes since my kids like to destroy each one when they wear it.  

First set: hot dog (this was suppose to be my costume except  I didn't realize it was for a child)  

We joined one of my friends for trick or treating by my work.  There was a neighborhood close by that goes all out on Halloween and even has a haunted out the dads in the neighborhood put together.  The nice thing, the street is blocked off so the kids were able to go into the street.  The bad part, it was so dark we could hardly see the kids.  Thank goodness for glow sticks.

Here are a few pics from my cell phone and my friends camera.  My favorite pics are toward the bottom

             

The first house we went to had a bubble machine .  Buddha went wild and wouldn't move the whole time!

 

 Yes, he is holding Daddy's ear (weirdo) 

They are bothering the dead 

 He was about to spit put whatever he was eating

Trick or treating begins 

 

In some areas there were so many people, we were worried about keeping track of the kids.  

I had a genius idea to have the 4/5 year olds be responsible for each other.  The rest of the time, they were holding hands while trick or treating.

In order (Lilo, Raphael - I think?, and princess) 

This is one of the displays in front of the houses we went to.  Buddha was so scared, he crawled up my head and was chocking me.

 Buddha laughing at a flying ghost

 

 This was the front of the haunted house

See Buddha's looking at it

These are my favorite shots!.  Thanks Em!

And finally, Happy birthday Baby.  I don't believe you are 5.  You look about 3 - you need to grow a little more :D

Mine and Diva's Hula Recital

Over the weekend, Diva and I were in a dance recital (yes I dance :D).  As part of getting ready for the show, our hair had to be big.  Mine, not a big deal but Diva is a bit tough.  I had to braid her hair the night before.

Order of show :D
**Update I uploaded the videos from the photographer.  So much better the "other half"**

Strike a Pose

I got these pictures over text message yesterday.  Keep in mind, my kid is just 4.  I'm so not looking forward to the teenage years.

Of course Buddha couldn't be left out

and Now Grandpa with his new hair cut.....he reminds me of a potato.  

Christmas Pageants and 4 year olds

Yesterday was Diva's Christmas pageant.  A show of 3, 4, and 5 year olds.  You could probably guess how that came out.  Want to guess where Diva is?

Flying Diva

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Say hello to my little friend

Well in Divas instant, not little.  I am strange that I find dolls almost as tall as a 4 year old creepy?  It is not like the doll is scary looking but I have seen chucky way too many times (ok really twice) not to look at this doll sideways.  We almost took this one home (thanks mom) but we couldn't find the price.  I was spared.  Couldn't you image this thing walking around and it's head spinning?
